in a 2006 22 foot triton with a 2013 250hp Mercury Optimax pro/xs. All Ages are welcome.

Lake Limestone is known for it's crappie & cats. Ginsel knows where to find them both. We are the only
full-time guide available for Limestone... and as quoted in Fishing & Hunting News (No limestone, but lots
of crappie, sandies: "Lake Limestone"; Aug 19 - Sept 2, 1999, pp. 44-46) "...it's tough to beat Limestone
as a crappie lake." And in late July clients limited out on 6 out of 8 trips. Most of all crappies are keepers,
ranging 11-14 inches, and with another year's growth Ginsel is excited about what the next year will hold. And
as far as the blue cats go... Ginsel says, "...For someone that enjoys catching and eating catfish, this is the
spot to mark on your map..." Last year Ginsel landed a 59-pounder on a rod and reel from Limestone and
catches cats ranging from 2-25 pounds on average. Once again, Ginsel is proving his ability to find and catch
the biggest and best fish on the lake.

Richland Chambers Reservoir - 44,752-acre lake located East of Corsicana off Hwy 287
and is known as the "blue cat hotspot."

Best Seasons:Blue Cats:
October - May
Crappie: May - SeptemberHybrids: Spring/Fall

This is the lake for cats and hybrids and when it comes to this lake - Keith Ginsel knows his fish. He has
been highlighted in Fishing & Hunting News (Richland Chambers, It's a smorgasbord out there, "Cats
& Hybrids" July 8 - Aug 5, 1999 pp 21-22). Writer Luke Clayton covers Keith Ginsel and his guide service
and Ginsel's ability to understand their habits. Ginsel is quoted as saying, "Catching blue cats is
relatively easy, finding them is the trick," and finding them is not a problem for him. "Knowing where
they school, and what they bite is essential," he says. "Blue cats commonly run 1-8 pounds, but catching
fish over 10 isn't uncommon. This tid-bit sums up his blue cat catching ability; Ginsel is quoted as
keeping track of fishing for blue cats in late May of 1999, and on eight trips to Richland Chambers he had
a total "poundage" equalling a few pounds shy of a ton, giving new meaning to having a "ton of fun!"

Lake Fairfield - Approximately 2,700-acre
lake located 1 1/2 hours south of Dallas, just a short
10 minute ride from the city of Fairfield, on FM 2570, situated in Fairfield State Park.

Lake Fairfield is a hot water lake and this makes for some good action in the winter months. January - March
it's not too hard to limit out on Hybrid Stripers and catch some nice Redfish. In the year of '99, Ginsel
managed to catch a nice 37 1/2 inch Red that weighed in at 30 pounds, along with many others.

Ginsel specializes in using live & dead bait drift fishing points, flats, and creek channels. Fairfield
also holds the state freshwater Redfish record of 41 1/2 pounds which was caught in March of '99. Fairfield
also supports some fine bass fishing all year round.
